iShares Global Timber & Forestry ETF (WOOD) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the S&P Global Timber & Forestry Index, which comprises global equities of companies engaged in the ownership, management, harvesting, and upstream supply chain of forests and timberlands, as well as producers of wood products, paper, and related materials. The ETF provides targeted exposure to the timber and forestry sector through a portfolio of approximately 42 holdings, including leading firms such as PotlatchDeltic Corporation, Rayonier Inc., Weyerhaeuser Company, Suzano S.A., and West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.; sector allocations emphasize paper and forest products (around 48%), containers and packaging (20%), and real estate management tied to timberlands; geographic exposure spans developed and emerging markets, with significant weighting in the United States (approximately 29%), Brazil, Finland, Japan, and Sweden. Launched on June 24, 2008 and issued by BlackRock Inc., with headquarters in New York, the fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking diversification in natural resources, holding total assets under management of approximately $245 million as of late 2025 and an expense ratio of 0.40%. In recent developments, WOOD has benefited from heightened sector interest amid global demand for sustainable timber, lumber price surges to two-and-a-half-year highs driven by potential U.S. tariffs under President Trump, and positive 2025Q2 earnings previews highlighting upside potential from strategic investments and resilient operations, though no major acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes specific to the ETF were reported in the last 1-2 years.
